Laura has such a natural conversational style of talking to the camera. She’s so easy to listen to! And she’s so well versed on all the gardening information she’s talking about. What an awesome combination!!! You go girl!!!
As a one time CA resident I adore Bougainvillea. When we moved to Oregon (zone 9) I thought, that's it, no more Boug; too rainy cloudy. But I have managed to keep my (2+ year) gorgeous plant alive by wintering it over inside next to a west facing window. Now I've taken the huge step of transplanting it to in ground on the west side where it sees A LOT of direct sun. BTW, in case you think it's never hot in OR, think again. We are mid Apr 2020 right now and soon we'll be seeing 100+ degree days continuously.
I’ve had a retail garden center for 25 years and you just picked our top 5 planet that are returned because in the transplanting process people tend to tear apart the roots and not water enough the first week or two
We here in France, in the countryside of Paris, have just lived through 2 severe heat waves within weeks of each other. During this last one, we had the hottest day in recorded history here. It was sweltering! And our gardens sure suffered! Th you for these tips for next year.
I was in the wanting to purchase a particular blue flower and was told that as soon as they go on the display trays they are gone, so was encouraged to purchase a balloon flower, planted it then as one does forgot about it till this year, when whilst weeding saw a plant emerging with a purple stem thinking this can not be a weed “What is it” so let I grow glad I did as it developed into loads of blue Balloon Flowers and what a show (Some weeds do have purple stems, I’ve since found out )
I am a new homeowner with only a couple seasons of gardening under my belt here in Boise, Idaho. I'm trying to do a LOT on a small budget. These videos get my imagination running! Was pleased to see I have at least one of almost every perennial on this list :)
I’ve been watching your channel for a few months now and was just thinking I needed to ask you about these sun loving perennials. I live in zone 5b in the hills of Western Massachusetts and we are at the top of a wooded mountain. Our front yard gets sooo hot and burns everything to a crisp except for lilies. I’m so excited to see this because I haven’t tried these 5 perennials yet...now I know and can’t wait to try them out hopefully this year if available but definitely next year! Thank you!
Flowers are my joy! I’ve always been into annuals but the last several years in getting into perennials big time.. I think getting older has a little something to do with it.. 😂. I just don’t have the same umphh so I’m planting more perennials but still filling in with beautiful annuals !!
Just want to say thank you to the guys at Conroys Flowers on Mckee Rd.. I called today at 10 am to order flowers for my daughter who is in the hospital. The sales person sent me pictures of what he had made up in the case (it's Sunday, so no designer on hand). He showed me a lovely arrangement that was perfect for a get well gift. My daughter had them in her hospital room by 10:40. Made the process so easy as I had just moved away from the San Jose area to another state across the country. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this quality video. You are very knowledgeable and convey info quickly and efficiently. I live in Arizona which made this video on heat tolerant plants especially valuable. Could you please list the plants at the bottom of the video? I had to keep backing up and replaying and I still feel as though I missed important info. Really appreciate what you're doing. Your lawn and garden are spectacular. Can you tell I'm new at this?
Thank You, I am new to zone 5. Very hot and arid. After 2 years of fails. I found sedum, Russian sage etc. To be my go to plants. I wish I would have found you 2 years ago. I have now!
Laura you should do a video of just pictures of your garden and have Aaron edit with music. Love all of your videos they are so informative, inspiring and a pleasure to watch.
Thank for all the information. I have a big yard and I’m always wondering what flowers to plant . I love your videos they give me a lot information to better my garden
Please talk about southern areas with abundant rain. I kill lavender every year. My last attempt was a sunny spot on a covered porch in cactus soul. I think maybe the humidity did it. Hostas, iris, althea, daylilies, monarda and echinacea do well. Russian sage struggles.
Denim and lace sage 💜! One of our favorite saw it last year when Laura planted it and we just fell in love and designed our front bed based on it. It has not stopped blooming since spring! It’s in front of David Austin’s roses and underneath Bourdeux and Alyssum while with the bad weather of heat and so much water others had taken a toll not this sage it’s thriving and makes everything look so beautiful. Every single one of these plants are a must.💚💚💚💚💚💚
Every time I've planted Echinacea's they are pretty for a short period of time. I'm in zone 8a. I put them in full sun, after a couple of days they will look like they have been torched and they never come back from that. These are supposed to be a perennial in my zone. I may be doing something wrong.
Thank you so much for this video. I have a flower bed that receives afternoon sun and living in Florida the heat gets unbearable. I have laid a drip line (from another one of your videos) and it helps but my plants take a beating from the heat. I will be adding the plants above next year.
Wow, loved your garden plants. Wow, don’t wish to be rude ok, but boy oh boy , can certainly talk very fast , how do you breath hun . ..? I love the rudbeckia and marguerite daisy plants . I have several types of perennial plants in my two metre wide borders. I also grow geraniums, panties, lavender, roses, lilies, dahlias, etc. Thanks for all your great tips and advice on which plants are heat tolerant. I live in the uk, so we get lots of rain, and our summers are no way are hot as yours. .. I really could not take the heat of 100 degrees as I’m disabled ex army veteran and have severe asthmatic. We all have our trouble, right hun. Your gardens look beautiful so keep up the good work . God bless from dennis
I want to let you know how much I appreciate your information on gardening I get inspired when I watch your videos, and see you pictures. Have a wonderful Birthday.
I didn’t know lavender doesn’t like a ton of water!!! I planted one in my last house and it got a lot of water and it grew a LOT & is doing well. I want to plant at my new home but I don’t want to be watering a lot! So I guess it’s a go!!
I F - Lavender does not like Standing Water, it needs to drain away from the roots and not stay there on them.. Your previous lavender probably had an ideal soil that drained quickly and that's why it did so good..
Thank you so much for these videos, my backyard is 80 acres of federal park land on the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta and the deer run through my yard all day and night. I love beautiful landscaping and finding plants that are deer resistant is very hard. I use extensive deer/bird/rabbit netting for my border annuals but it is pain.
Wonderful suggestions and I can attest to how well all of these plants grow in SW Utah. Mid to late Summer can be very hot and dry, and these all hold up beautifully and thrive. Thanks for such a great video and advice on varieties.
I think I live in zone 9 but not sure. I love lavender and I will have to amend my crappy soil. I don't know what kind I have. I live in a trailer about 85 miles west of Phoenix AZ.
Laura, I love your enthusiasm and suggestions! My garden is on The Master Gardener Tour here in Wilmington, NC in a few weeks... I will think about your suggestions- we've got an acre... I might need more space!
Oh yay! My daughter just started her freshman year there a week ago! I seriously NEVER read the comments, but for some reason, I read this. I’m convinced it was The Holy Spirit! I’ve been an emotional wreck since she left, and she hasn’t been doing much better. She loves Wilmington and the school, but she doesn’t know anyone except for her roommate, who she’s now known for 6 days. She was looking so forward to meeting people, but because of COVID 19, her classes are online. PLEASE tell me that it’s not too late for us to come see your beautiful garden tour together!🙏😘
@J. C. thats your damn problem, most wonderful people love birds, you sound old and disgruntled. Birds bring such joy to people, maybe you shoukd put some bird feeders up and experience some joy and get rid of your hateful attitude!
@J. C. you sound like a greedy gut too, share.....did you ever hear of that? Are you taking all the seeds with you when you die? I love birds and hate greedy, old disgruntled people!!!
We had no rain for 6 weeks and my echinacea did let their heads hang a bit. Finally it rained! and they raised their heads back up. So, it was the lack of water that caused it.
Musr be hard to garden is USA. Well in England it too hot or wet and cold. I have chosen these plants for my own garden but the only difference is being a clay soil you have dig in gavel for drainage then they grow well. We'll done young lady👍
Hello there, Laura does not have experience with zones 9 and 10, so she is not comfortable making a video about plants she has not grown in that touch climate. She speaks from experience in her videos, sorry she is not able to help on this.
I will volunteer! I’m in zone 9. I’m an educator in the Florida public schools, and currently make children’s videos about art. I’m an avid gardener and I am currently in the process of redesigning my backyard after a pool build.
Yes. I love her videos, but I always get tickled when she talks about heat-hardy plants that wouldn’t make it past zone 7 on a warm day much less zone 9 on a scorcher. :)
I love your videos! But, I have viewed a few beautiful plants and fall in love with them for a spot in my yard and ~~~ of course, not for zone 9! Have you ever thought of make special zone videos for all of us Different Zone Gardeners??? 🧡
We do not have a video, but here is a page where you can find your zone and plant recommendations for each. beauty.provenwinners.com/plants-by-climate/
Could you do something like this but for patio gardens that may not get hours of direct sun? I've been having problems with my patio because I want color but the things I like all seem to need full sun.
Leonotis leonurus does well in the heat, not so much is cold and blends in well with nearly every plant mentioned, especially salvias. Grossa lavender is pretty hardy against frost compared too most of the lavenders though grown commercial on farms with high oil content 24-36" is great for driveways. Rose scented geranium near entrance or in a pot elevated and positioned to brush buy it =D. salvia greggii stand out from lavender
Great info! Really appreciate this video! We get a ton of sun on the front of the house, so we need these types of plants. Also love the idea of them being great for the pollinators! I’m a new subie and look forward to more of your videos!
Thanks so much for the information! I have a ton of flower beds and we killed everything that the previous people planted when we first moved in to start new and create our garden the way we wanted it to be. So I have slowly been restoring our flower beds with mostly annuals but I was looking for some perennials to put in so I dont have to start from scratch every year. And this video was very informal so I think I may consider some of these plants for my flowerbeds.
We're in the northern Great Plains in zone 4. Please include planting zones with your recommendations as not everyone is in your zone 5. Heat and drought tolerance are two issues, but we also have to have solid wind tolerance.
We do not assume everyone is a zone 5, in this video Laura talks about different types of perennials that are heat tolerant, but the zones for each type might vary depending on the exact genetic you purchase. Thank you for your suggestion regarding wind too, another thing to keep in mind. Appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts.
Thank you so much for giving us some ideas for heat and drought tolerant plants. I have resorted to just planting sedums that I find here in my local nurseries. I didn't know that there are upright sedums that bloom so pretty! I believe I will be on the lookout for these varieties. I really like your channel, keep up the good work!
Just want to say hi! I enjoy watching your videos, I think you have great energy. I'm new to gardening, I live in Vancouver BC, and I have a solarium, so I'm playing around with which plants & flowers like (and don't like) being in there. It can get like a hot house in there so in particular, the tomatoes are very happy. I definitely want to try a couple plants in this video.
Hi Laura, would love to plant Lavender but up here in Canada, even uf i'm in zone 6a, winters are harsh on plant roots, do you think lavanders roots would survive it ? I think i should cover them or protect them but not sure hownfrom the -25c we usually have in february ?
You are best to ask that question at your local garden center--they are much more familiar with your climate, and it also depends on the exact type of lavender you plant. Thanks for watching.
Hi Laura! I absolutely LOVE your channel! My question is...should I plant 1 perennial knowing that it will spread, or is it usually best to plant maybe 3?
Laura has such a natural conversational style of talking to the camera. She’s so easy to listen to! And she’s so well versed on all the gardening information she’s talking about. What an awesome combination!!! You go girl!!!

Hyssop is a great, Summer perennial. Profuse blooms, withstands drought, and cut it back for another bloom.

Very nice. So many new ideas for my garden. The information is great.
Echinacea will also feed wintering birds so don't be so quick to cut them down in the fall.
Cut a few for seeds and leave a few for birds. It's a win/win.

Great! I'll try these in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hope they can take 110°-117° temps in July and August...

Hi Laura, would love to plant Lavender but up here in Canada, even uf i'm in zone 6a, winters are harsh on plant roots, do you think lavanders roots would survive it ? I think i should cover them or protect them but not sure hownfrom the -25c we usually have in february ?

@@ProvenWinnersUA-cam thanks i appreciate ansering back so soon, actually i was wandering if your winters were as cold as ours.
I have all of them but I find the rudbeckia will wilt when it gets too hot and dry in my here garden in Toronto, Canada.
The sweet romance... does that completely go away in the winter or does it lend some kind of winter interest until spring?
It does not die back to the ground, but there really is not much winter interest to it either, it is definitely not evergreen. Hope this helps!
